Non-slip bath coating in Affetside

About our non-slip bath coating in Affetside

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Affetside

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Affetside questions

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Affetside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Affetside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

Repair or replace in Affetside?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Affetside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
